I’d be a zillionaire if I earned a dollar each time someone complains that all the great domain names are already taken. It’s just not true, however. Even in a highly competitive industry, you can think up original, appealing domain names for businesses by using naming tactics that few people use, such as these:

1. Focus on results. What is the outcome or end result that people want to have from buying a certain product or service? How do they feel when they have finished the transaction? My own company name, Named At Last, falls into this category.

2. Look for puns. Make a list of relevant keywords, say each out loud and play around with the sounds. Puns are much less likely than other kinds of names to have been registered because their component parts are not actual words. For instance, the name Sitesfaction, for a web design company, was a finalist in our first naming contest – and an available domain at that time despite tens of thousands of web design firms in the English-speaking world.

3. Think slang. Let your imagination and memory fly around for pleasing-to-the-ear expressions. As of today, the domain BoyOhBoyToys.com for an online toy store is unregistered, as is a domain for its sister store AttaGirlToys.com.

4. Go symbolic. Suppose you’re an expert on the horror genre and want to start a paid online community for horror fans. Horrorific.com, horrorgate.com and Horrornet.com are all taken, but as of today, the less obvious and more vivid FrightOwl.com is not.

5. Vary real words. “Google’s name is a play on the word googol, which refers to the number 1 followed by one hundred zeroes,” says the Press Center of the world’s most successful search engine. “The word was coined by the nine-year-old nephew of mathematician Edward Kasner,” it continues – providing another hint for creative naming: consult a kid.

In today’s digital age, the success of every organization, industries, companies etc. lies in its ability to respond to its customers in a timely and efficient manner. Organizations that can track and efficiently manage their workforce can not only optimize their business processes but also double up their profits. Technology that is used for Real Time Tracking have been created that help organizations keep a close watch on the complete movement of their people and goods and this is known as dispatch software. This script not only helps organizations monitor the movement of technicians and delivery personnel working on field, it also helps in easy management of day to day business activities.

For any logistic firm, the challenge lies in reducing the time for the ‘fastest delivery. In order to ensure that the deliverable reaches the customer on time and in the best condition, it is essential to ensure that the ground staff uses the most efficient delivery method. Managers should be able to guide the ground staff to select the best route, to ensure that the package reaches the customers on time. User can track the shipment by entering the consignment number of the shipment to get the current status of the shipment. It is converting this pleasant dream into reality for manufacturers and shippers. It is the best solution for those who want to start their town B2B and B2C marketplace portal for the intense business growth.

If you install uship clone script, you can evaluate the exact movement of your company’s ground staff. It will provide you with precise details regarding pick up date, delivery point, best delivery route and exact delivery date. Managers can now evaluate the distance to be covered to identify the route that offers the least resistance. Good tracking software can be used even from a mobile device. This means your company managers can track the movement of the package from mobile devices. Mobile compatibility is available in this script so there is no need of Pc and laptop to carry everywhere which is very tough.

The Role and Importance of Tracking Software in Today’s Competitive Business Environment In today’s competitive business environment, it has become important for businesses to achieve logistical efficiency. There is a direct link between the logistical efficiency and the overall performance of a business. This is particularly true in the case of e- commerce companies and other similar businesses that are required to deliver products to the customers.

It is important for businesses to use reliable tracking software to ensure smooth delivery of products.

In-person meetings play a fundamental role in business operations. They are integral to building and sustaining successful relationships between co-workers, customers, partners, and suppliers.

The reason?

Studies show that almost 82 percent of people believe that meetings help bring out the best in people and 85 percent believe face-to-face meetings result in breakthrough thinking. The benefits are obviously many.

Banking staff routinely conducts dozens of complex and challenging discussions with customers. Given how sensitive these topics are, face-to-face meetings are often the preferred format. However, having in-person meetings carry a lot of disadvantages – they are time-consuming, expensive and at times, inconvenient.

Technological tools are stepping into this gap with solutions that bring the best of the two worlds.

Virtual Meetings Using Real time collaboration Platform

Real time engagement platform encompasses a range of tools that enable live and effective interactions. Powered by the innovative web-RTC technology, this easy-to-deploy solution doesn’t need expensive software licencing or installations. Secure, robust and multi-faceted, the plug-and-play platform is a boon for banking firms looking to boost revenue while building strong customer bonds.

For customers, the interaction via video chat is a welcome enhancement to carrying out transactions remotely from the convenience of their home or office.

At the heart of the platform is video chats. Video chatting is slowly becoming the norm with improvements in technologies, and this is now spilling into regular business interactions as well.

Businesses have long acknowledged the benefits of video-based meetings. They bring the valuable human touch to virtual interactions while retaining the many benefits of in-person communication including better rapport and increased trust.

Some of the clear business results delivered via video chatting are

1. Simplifies And Speeds Up Tough Discussions: With video chats banking staff and customers can have a conversation that very similar to in-personal discussions with proactive interaction between the two. The participants are able to have exchange views, ask questions, provide clarifications and explain critical points without any delay or confusion.

3. Better Sales Productivity: Upselling and cross-selling becomes more successful in Face-to-face meetings. Banking staff are able to assess customer needs better and provide the right solutions.

4. Improved Transparency and Trust: There is no denying that with face-to-face discussions via the video chat bring customer build a closer bond to the banking customer agent. This is directly the result of video chats facilitating a view into body language, tone, and facial expressions that is missing other forms of communication.

5. Improved Cost Efficiencies: The video chat is far more cost effective than personal travel. As a browser-based plug-in, the video chat can be used in all device formats and needs no special training.

The wide expanse of benefits of video chat makes it a top option for banking firms looking to boost customer interaction and improve revenue growth.

A leased line is a connection between two end points that are private. Leased lines are also referred to as a private circuit or data line, this connection is mainly used for internet access. Leased lines are used for data exchanges, video & voice calls. Leased lines are referred to as dedicated bandwidth solutions, there are no changes in speed or availability at times where this is in high demand.

Advantages of leased lines for businesses

✓ Symmetric

You are able to upload and download at the same speed (un-contended). This means you are able to perform data consuming tasks like transfer big files, working remotely from home and making calls via IP telephony.

✓ Flexible connection

Leased lines carry many forms of communication. In many cases, businesses use them for VPN access, telephone calls and internet traffic. You are even able to decide how the bandwidth is allocated.

✓ Fast

Leased lines are of course very fast & reliable, some can come in the range of speeds 2Mbps up to 10Gbps. Unlike with ADSL2+ and standard fibre, there are no ‘up to’ or ‘best’ speeds, you will only ever receive the full bandwidth allocation for which you pay.

✓ Reliable

Naturally, leased lines come with excellent Service Level Agreements (SLAs), it is down to the provider to monitor and maintain the data-line themselves, to ensure a certain level of service is always maintained.

✓ Private and secure

As this is a dedicated line just for your business, leased lines are private & secure, usually managed and taken care of by your service provider & 3rd party re-seller

✓ Full support

Your business will receive on hand 24/7 business telephony support, you will be able to speak to your provider of your line straight away without issue. Your direct provider for your line will endeavour to resolve any problems quickly & effectively.

✓ Unlimited usage

Fair usage? There is no such thing where a leased line solution is concerned, you can use as much as you like whether that be at peak times or not.

✓ Business Benefits

Businesses will pay a fixed monthly rate for a leased line, your business can plan a telecommunications budget due to monthly rates, a leased line cannot be accessed by other parties that are not specified by the network parameters. If your business is looking at VoIP & Cloud solutions or if you already have them in place, a business leased line will strengthen your broadband reliability making Cloud & VoIP solutions more than viable for your business.

Disadvantages of leased lines for businesses

✓ Cost

Leased lines carry many benefits, so naturally, for all these benefits, it will cost your business, usually a cost of £200-£500 per month.

I’m breaking a little protocol today and talking about my research over the past two years. I started this venture around the beginning of January of 2015, sounds benign enough but actually I had a very close friend, who had recently lost a relative to which they thought was under suspicious circumstances.

A situation that for all intents and purposes, might rise to a dime store mystery novel. (no joke!) if I was inclined with the skill to write such things, I probably really would, anyway, without getting into the personal particulars of it all, there was a “white powdery” substance in a bottle that should not have been in there…yeah, getting it now? This friend asked me if there was anyway to find out what it was and I said yeah you can take it and get it analyzed, it’ll cost some money but it can be done.

For whatever reason, that route was unacceptable and I wasn’t going to push it so, I said give some time and I’ll see what I can do. Having an engineering and chemistry background helps in matters of the scientific persuasion so, I figured I could maybe buy a spectrometer and do the job myself, ha ha ha, yeah right! I’m retired, not rich, turns out though, I came across a website called PublicLab where you can learn how to investigate environmental concerns and use inexpensive DIY spectrometer’s and techniques. So that’s where I bought my first spectrometer kit. Only problem was that, I didn’t realize the scope and magnitude that was about to unfold before me.

The adventure was on though and I was hook-line and sinkered in! Even with all my research, upgrades and intense experimentation, I could only at best (and only with 60 percent probability,) determine what the original “white powdery” substance was, which for privacy’s sake I will not disclose here, my friend though, was so very grateful that I did try, and I was glad I did also. What a grand learning experience that was and still is, and from that is where the inspiration for the DAV5 V3.01 Raman spectrometer has come from.

Even as I’m writing this, I think of the times of frustration and disappointment, mainly at myself, wanting to just give it up, “man why a I doing all this?” 12 – 15 hour days, and for what? I keep forgetting procedures, the order of things, ect., why? well having a stroke several years earlier didn’t do me any favors. So I developed a system of log books and these logs corresponded to files saved on my computer as a back up. I had to literally annotate just about every little thing I was doing, I have a short term memory problem, but as long as I have a log of my previous actions I can recall it pretty well.

I have now over 1000 pages of notes and research, each page has it’s own tab with a short description of that page, and it’s worked out very well. So this is the adversity I must on a daily basis overcome, and I do it because I believe what I’m doing is significant on many levels, one being, the story I started at the beginning. I started to come to the realization just how expensive and far out of reach this technology really is, not just to your average citizen scientist or serious hobbyist, but to people I was coming in contact with everyday over on Hackaday.com.

I was interacting with brilliant individuals from Columbia, Slovakia, Chezania, and many others, all building incredible devices, with specific purposes in mind. Most of them out of sheer necessity, hey, when you are unable to afford a top of the line up to date piece of technology, your only choice is…to make it!

This is the “hook” the inner beauty of all this, yeah I mix some philosophical connotation to all this but its the truth, at least as I am starting to understand it. This is why my project is not only important to me, but to many other’s as well, check this these stats out, they are the average cost of the “lower priced” Raman spectrometer’s that are available out there:

Raman laser compare chart 2

Ok lets digest this a little, these are the “top” 5 lower priced Raman specrometers (and if you can just bear with me, the next segment is why Raman spectroscopy is so vital in our every day lives,) you see the price ranges no? Imagine my friend in Colombia wanting to do vital research in molecular biology or genetics, with an average monthly salary of $692 (47% of the worldwide average) ranked 54 out of 72 countries on the global pay scale, one position higher than Ukraine ($686) and one position lower than Bulgaria ($750).Apr 13, 2012.

Well I think you can start to get the idea here, now imagine my project and its benefits:

Raman project BOM july 17

DAV5 V3.01 Raman Spectrometer, total cost $657.35

Big difference huh? This is the core principle, the vision I have for this project, and the best part is that it is becoming a reality, a testament I would say to at least me not giving up on it. This truly is my mission statement, I felt like I had to have one in order to stay focused and on point, it helped. Now I’m going to get into the details the why and how’s of all this and how this really impacts our lives without anyone really ever thinking about it.

What Raman spectroscopy is, the measurement of the wavelength and intensity of inelastically (lacking flexability,) of scattered light in molecules. Raman scattered light occurs at wavelengths that are shifted from the incident light by energies of molecular vibrations.

Important term #2 to remember, “molecular vibrations,” these vibrations have a specific and non-changing frequency, their strengths are characterized in terms of “degrees,” example;

R = < Xᵢ | a | Xⱼ >
where Xᵢ and Xⱼ are the initial and final states, respectively, and a is the polarizability of the molecule:

a = aₒ + (r-rₑ)(da/dr) + … higher terms
where r is the distance between atoms and aₒ is the polarizability at the equilibrium bond length, rₑ. Polarizability can be defined as the ease of which an electron cloud can be distorted by an external electric field. Since aₒ is a constant and < Xᵢ | a | Xⱼ > = 0, R simplifies to;

R = < Xᵢ | (r-rₑ)(da/dr) | Xⱼ >
The result is that there must be a change in polarizability during the vibration for that vibration to inelastically scatter radiation.

The poloarizability depends on how tightly the electrons are bound to the nuclei. In the symmetric stretch the strength of electron binding is different between the minimum and maximum internuclear distances. Therefore the polarizability changes during the vibration and this vibrational mode scatters Raman light (the vibration is Raman active).

In asymmetric stretch the electrons are more easily polarized in the bond that expands but are less easily polarized in the bond that compresses. There is no over all change in polarizability and the asymmetric stretch is Raman inactive.

Raman line intensities are proportional to:

v∙ σ(v) ∙ |∙ exp(-Eᵢ|kT)∙C
Where v is the frequency of the incident radiation. σ(v) is the Raman cross section, typically;

10⁻²⁹ cm²
I is the radiation intensity, exp(-Eᵢ|kT) is the Boltzman factor for state i, and C is the analyte concentration.

Whew, now that was cryptic wasn’t it! That is the techy “basic” principle of Raman spectroscopy, how can such a seemingly obscure discipline be so important in our everyday lives…

It can be used to rapidly characterize the chemical composition and structure of a sample, whether solid, liquid, gas, gel, slurry or powder.
Compound distribution in tablets
Blend uniformity
High throughput screening
API (air pollution index) concentration
Powder content and purity
Raw material verification
Polymorphic forms
Crystallinity
Contaminant identification
Combinatorial chemistry
In vivo analysis and skin depth profiling
You see the potential? It’s like a ripple effect, propagating it’s way through all other disciplines of science. Another example, which in my opinion is the best, is what Raman is all about; The “finger print,” just like in a “CSI” weekly episode.

Fingerprint-720×480-article-image This should look familiar, a human fingerprint begin scanned apparently on a finger print reader.

sn-fingerprints_1 forensics 4

Now this is the same print but analyzed under different protocols, and scientific techniques, the same premise applies to Raman, everything no mater if it is liquid, gas or a solid has a unique inner molecular signature that can be characterized and quantified.

Abstract
“Cancers are often impossible to visually distinguish from normal tissue. This is critical for brain cancer where residual invasive cancer cells frequently remain after surgery, leading to disease recurrence and a negative impact on overall survival. No preoperative or intraoperative technology exists to identify all cancer cells that have invaded normal brain. To address this problem, we developed a handheld contact Raman spectroscopy probe technique for live, local detection of cancer cells in the human brain. Using this probe intraoperatively, we were able to accurately differentiate normal brain from dense cancer and normal brain invaded by cancer cells, with a sensitivity of 93% and a specificity of 91%. This Raman-based probe enabled detection of the previously undetectable diffusely invasive brain cancer cells at cellular resolution in patients with grade 2 to 4 gliomas. This intraoperative technology may therefore be able to classify cell populations in real time, making it an ideal guide for surgical resection and decision-making.”

This came from an article @ Science Translational Medicine 1 Feb 2015.

The advancements just keep on coming, see where this is all leading? The final 2 examples are going to tie up my points very nicely and then we will discuss the conclusions arrived at by all this:

Fig4.1.8 gutenberg bible pic2

This is a page from the Gutenberg Bible (original one at that!) This was accomplished using a variation of ATR (Attenuated total reflection,) is a sampling technique used in conjunction with infrared spectroscopy which enables samples to be examined directly in the solid or liquid state without further preparation.

Characterization of Mummified Tissues

In this work, the authors examined whether NIR-FT-Raman spectroscopy could be employed to determine to what extent human remains have been preserved, which have been subjected to artificial mummification. In addition, the purpose was to shed light on the methods and complex mummification techniques used by ancient Egyptians. Raman microscopic studies of human skin from the XIIth dynasty mummy, Nekht-Ankh, ca. 2100 BC, from the ‘Tomb of the Two Brothers’ (Khnum-Nakht and Nekht-Ankh) from Rifeh in Middle Egypt (Fig. 4.1.9), excavated from a hot desert environment, was carried out. The mummies were embalmed by natron, which absorbs water and is also mildly antiseptic, in the way used by ancient Egyptians.

Fig4.1.9

Kind of errie huh? Just look at the data below:

Fig4.1.10 mummified tissue 3

The amide I and III protein Raman bands were used to monitor the presence of proteins and to give an idea about the secondary protein structure. The lipids and proteins seemed well preserved, although different degrees of protein deterioration were observed. In some spots, protein degradation was extensive. Some sites showed very well preserved protein secondary structures with both helical and sheet contents, associated protein modes at 1660, 1450, and 1240 cm-1 (Fig. 4.1.10) indicating that the artificial mummification process had a positive effect although no embalming chemicals were left in those spots. Of significant interest is that the presence of residual chemicals in the skin tissues (Na2SO4 from the natron desiccant used in the mummification process), is correlated with the presence of the most degraded organic tissue and hence the most poorly preserved skin structure (Figs. 4.1.11, 4.1.10 and 4.1.11 with permission of J. Raman Spectrosc. 34 (2003) 375).

So to bring us back around home, yes these techniques are very precise and require an extensive working knowledge, I learned it in two years, and I had never done this before, just having the aptitude and desire helped me achieve my results so far.

The prevailing goal of this project is in removing the mysteries surrounding this type of science and sciences akin to it, providing an easier and more accessible gateway for developing counties to continue along a path of greater technological progress. This can certainly be achieved through free educational pathways like my website and this projects ideals, yeah sounds lofty I know, but I’m actually doing it, I’m making the connections, the interpersonal ones that matter, like the examples I talked about in the beginning of this article.

It’s now just a matter of putting the pieces of this project together, testing and calibrating and then releasing all of my data, its beautiful to me, and I do it all for free. I took it upon myself to just do it, I was going to do one thing in my life that made a difference, big or small, but it was going to make that difference.

Backing up your website is like insuring your car. It protects your assets and gives you peace of mind.
If you spend hours and hours pouring your time and energy into a website, it is a good practice to ensure that your hard work has been backed up on to another device. Simple things like backing up can be easily overlooked, regardless of how organised and diligent you may be.

Safety beyond just your Hosting Services

Although your hosting provider may be performing backups, the odds of them having the most recent version of your website is slim to none. The necessity to have an additional safety net is real, especially if you are operating an e-commerce store. You’re going to need your website up and running quickly if anything happens.

Evolution makes the original version unusable

Your original version of the website, especially if you have built it yourself, will become dated. If you are constantly updating your data, information and writing style the original form of the website will become unrecognisable. This is a natural and a good progression. Your website is evolving and growing at a rate that you cannot personally track so you cannot expect your original build to stand up to the current live site.

In the event that you are performing software updates regularly it is important that you have the most recent software in your back-ups. Your backups should be a regular occurrence to ensure that it reflects the live site that customers are currently seeing.

Recovery from a Hacks needs to happen ASAP

Hacking may be something you only hear about in spy movies and cyber-crime novels but the truth is, it happens more than you can even imagine. Often there is no reason or rhyme to hacking and so you shouldn’t assume that you are immune to it. Additionally, most companies that are hacked end up going bankrupt within a few years of the first breach.

In the event that you have been hacked, you will most certainly want to return your website to the latest possible version. Your live website will be corrupt and the best bet is to delete every part of the software and completely replace it with your latest backup.

Sleep with ease

Peace of mind is an important thing when you’re being an efficient, high performing professional. Placing back up plans, recovery strategies and risk management action plans allows you to go to sleep and get your rest so you may work more efficiently.

Reduce upgrade complications

The last and most important aspect that an up to date back-up can ensure is that any upgrade mishaps or faults can be undone. Your software needs to age with the times. This includes patches, upgrades and bug fixes on a regular basis. Sometimes, there are glitches that occur. Whether they are incompatibility issues, bugs in software or any of a number of possible mishaps, your best course of action is to revert to the latest version of your website.

Let us consider that you have created your escort website, added some relevant content, uploaded a few cool pictures, and now you are just sitting back and waiting for some business. You are still waiting and nothing is happening. What are you doing wrong? Unfortunately, traffic is not going to come to your website. But here are the few authentic ideas for Agency & Independent Escort Web Design that will undoubtedly help in getting organic traffic to your website.

Card Based Interfaces

These designs were made popular by sites like Pinterest and hard-pressed further by Material design, card based designs can make it relatively easy to group together a lot of unique and eye-catching content, are easily scannable as well as readable for the user, and this type of coding helps in generating soothing responsive web design.

Video Headers and Backgrounds

They say a picture is worth a thousand words but they never say the video is worth a million pictures. In this case, videos surely are the game changer they can recite the complete story along with the conclusion in the least possible time. Video backgrounds and headers have been a great way to set a tone, it gives a sense of environment, and get your users interacting with your content. Usually, people with slower internet connection tend to face minor issues as the video playback would just test their patience.

Large Screen Design

A lot of focus in done on responsive web design that is on small screens, but it’s important to keep in mind about big screens too while its about Escort Website Design. According to the latest report generated by NASA, over 32% of internet users who are at their screens with resolutions of 1920 pixels or higher usually take advantage of the large screen which shows them a high-quality picture.

Bold Colour Palettes

The popularity of colour and Material Design not only emphasis on size, shape and colour but it is leading to bolder palettes and sharper contrasts which eventually helps in enhancing the overall look of the website. Colour is also being used as a design element, helping group together same type of options and also reminding specific emotions to users.

Bold Typography

In this advanced world, web fonts have made it possible for skilled designers to have extra choice and options in their typography.As they are inspired by print and movements like Swiss modernism which allows the designers to use the text in more and more unique ways. The text is also the key design element that translates well on mobile and uses minimal bandwidth which makes it the essential component for designing.

Polish Up Your Site

Who does not want to have a pretty, polished, well-written website! These are the most important factors in getting authentic traffic to your specific website. Not only it show fans that you’re a professional, it also helps you in improving your SEO techniques, which will ultimately help you in getting higher Google page ranking. Google always likes fresh, new content that is written skillfully and also includes correct keywords.

Advertise

It’s pretty clear, but unless you already have an unshakable business with a list of frequent admirers, advertising is definitely the must to get traffic to your website. But if you are new to this business and industry, you might have no idea where to start from, what exactly should your first step be. A Marketing tab along the edge of the webpage is a good place to list famous directories, review sites, and classifieds.

Get Links

Although it’s not as strong as a factor as it used to be, having organic links to your website from other various sites is a decent way to improve your SEO and help your page get higher ranking in Google.

Network

Networking with others in the business is the best way in building traffic and trust among the clients. This not only helps in getting new interested and authentic clients from other websites or agency but also helps in creating a bond among the competitor.

Anyone that owns or operates a website will know that the speed of change of technology can be breath-taking at times. You just get used to a new piece of software that is the very best at what it does and suddenly, it has been replaced and is outdated. Some software changes with the times but others don’t and that’s when they become a thing of the past. An example of this is Flash.
Go back a short time and Flash was the best possible way to add video or multimedia content to your website. But the software hasn’t evolved and has lost its position on top of the pile. This means newer technologies have come along and offered a better product that can better handle the modern demands.

So why should you replace your Flash website?

Industry changes forcing the issue
When Steven Jobs released a blog post about why Apple products were no longer supporting Flash, the writing was on the wall. This was back in 2010 and the head of the tech giant had concluded that Flash fell short of the modern requirements around touch interface smartphones as well as standards on the web.
Back then, the mobile internet was still pretty new and ensuring that your website worked on these devices was a nice extra that some website owners were beginning to include. Fast forward to modern times and most people own a smartphone and use it to access the internet.
In fact, in 2016 the number of searches from smartphones overtook those from desktop or laptops for the first time, showing the growth of the mobile internet. And by not having the right software on your website to work these devices, you are effectively cutting off half of the population from accessing your site.
This means website owners need to think about how their site works from mobile devices, often known as ‘mobile friendly’. Part of this is assessing any software that it uses that doesn’t work well on mobile devices – and Flash is a prime example.
Sadly, Flash has become somewhat bug filled and slow to patch in recent times and this means it doesn’t cope with many of the jobs required by modern websites and also doesn’t optimise well for mobile devices. There are also some concerns about the security of the software.

Issues with Flash
As software such as HTML5 has been introduced and is now the standard for websites, the issues with Flash have been further highlighted. In fact, there are an increasing number of incompatibility issues with other software that means websites built using Flash find they cannot use the latest in other software. Added to the problem of users not upgrading their software or updating it regularly and the use of Flash can have a dramatic and negative impact on your site.
Another issue is that even if you update the software, there’s no guarantee that your audience has and this means that people would be bounced away from the site, thinking it doesn’t work correctly. Figures from Google show that over 60% of people simply don’t return to a website when it doesn’t work correctly and 40% of them go straight to the next on the list – usually your competitor.
Part of the evolution of the mobile internet is an intolerance for things that don’t work and that don’t look right on small screens. People don’t want to be sitting around waiting for graphics to load or finding they can’t access content due to compatibility issues.

Phasing out
These issues highlight why many industry giants have already said they are abandoning the use of Flash. Both Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox web browsers have said that Flash no longer fulfils what they need for their customers and are not using it. Firefox, for example, believes that moving away from Flash will provide faster load times, better responsiveness and better security for their customers.
Google Chrome have permitted the use of Flash but only for the top 10 domains on any search that require the use of the plugin. This means unless you are on that top page, if you have Flash it won’t work when people follow through to your website.
Apple followed up with their move to stop supporting Flash on their mobile devices with a block on it through their Safari web browser. And Amazon reported in September 2015 that they were no longer used it in ads on their website.

Moving away from Flash
For people who invested time and money to build a website around Flash, the situation is a sad one but doesn’t mean that your website should be abandoned. As the use and support for Flash declined it is important to remove it from your site and ensure that your customers get the best possible experience, regardless of what device they visit from.
Clinging onto Flash not only harms your traffic but can also have a negative impact on your brand’s reputation. Sticking with old software can make your brand seem out of touch and old fashioned, not something that most companies want associating with them.
While it might take some money and time to clear Flash from your website and replace it with modern alternatives, the benefits are clear. And while the choice is yours, it is worth considering that if Google, Amazon and Apple think Flash is doomed, then it might be worth following along.

There are a number of URL shortening services with generic domains such as bit.ly, tinyurl.com, short.ie. Or branded domain services such as Tinycc. Some tools are offered by big web players like Google with their goo.gl shortener and some microblogging sites like Twitter with twurl/Tweetburner.

Their operation is fairly straightforward: each inserted URL is associated with a unique key, which is usually the same alphanumeric code that appears in the final part of the compressed URL. The latter then performs a redirect to the original address.

The convenience and benefits of a URL shortener can fit nicely in many digital marketing campaigns. The objective of this article is not to list all the benefits of shortening URLs, but to try to understand if there are SEO benefits from their use.

Urls shortener: What advantage for SEO?

A URL shortening service can have advantages from a marketing perspective, but offer no real advantage in terms of pure SEO optimization.

● The purpose of using short URLs not optimized for SEO benefits as the short links do not necessarily pass any credit to the landing page.

● There is a question of reliability of the services that could be disruptive to community websites and social networks if the shortening services were to fail. All dead links are preventing information sharing on networks.

● From the user experience point of view, these services can be very convenient since it is always easier to find/share a short link. This is especially true since some microblogging services like Twitter limit the number of characters in a message to 140.

● From an SEO point of view, there is no direct benefit since the links usually redirect using 301, 302 or JavaScript method to their destination pages.

Not all URL shorteners work the same way for SEO

When choosing a URL shortener, you’ll want to use one that employs a 301 redirect from the short URL to the destination URL. This will ensure maximum PageRank passing for your site. Also, you should choose a service that offers reports, metrics, and click statistics, as in the case of Tinycc.

Tinycc branded service gives users the option of bringing their own short domain. A business can discover how many clicks a specific link gets, geographic location of visitors, where the click was referred from and other metrics. The on board stats do not need to replace Google Analytics as your Google Analytics ID can easily be integrated with your Tinycc account to allow all short link pageview events to be seen in your Google Analytics account.

● Short links provides the most detailed data about the website traffic’s geographical location. It helps to determine your brand presence and accordingly you can optimize the SEO.

● Relevant outbound links help SEO regardless of nofollow or follow status. Shortening the URL can also minimize the risk of value transfer.

● If you require affiliate links but don’t want a messy looking URL. A shortening service is a good solution.

Tinycc custom domain URLs offer an added aspect – a chance to stand out and be memorable. Understand your audience across different devices and media and then plan your SEO.
